THE DEATH RECORD.

The mortuary report for January
shows decrease in fatality from the
previous month of December of Ia,
and an increase Of two deaths over the
corresponding month last year Not
withstanding the decrease from last
month, when the deaths were 7a, the
proportion Of children dying under one
year Of age is triae larger in Janu-
ary This large infant mortality is one
Of the most lamentable features in the
monthly reports throughout the year.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY /, 1873
ELECTORAL REFORM.

In glancing back over the proceed
ings of the last Legislative Assembly,
with the aid Of the very full summaries
published, one is struck with the want
Of reason that frequently characterized
the dominant majority. The conclu-
sion to be reached from the character
Of the debates and divisions is irresisti-
bic that the assembled wisdom" of
1886 was capable of almost any folly
that could be imagined. Some Of the
products of the last Hawaiian I.egis
lature will perpetuate that conclusion
at least till the next one shall have had
the opportunity Of mending the dam
age done. This country should afford
something better than that specimen Of
selected legislative wisdom. 1t can
only do so, however, under radical re-
forms in the electoral laws and the con-
stitution ofthe Legislature. First Of all
the electors must be guaranteed entire
freedom of action in the disposal of
their suhrages. They must be liber
ated from the liability Of either coer-
cion or purchase of their votes; eman-
cipated from the sway of rascalIy poll
ticians who would secure their votes, so
far as possible, though debauching
their senses with the vilest of liquor.
There would only be a step between
that and the next most necessary re-
form, the securing Of an independent
Legislature by the exclusion therefrom
Of all persons holding positions Of adj
vantage and emoument under the
Government. Perhaps both reforms
may be gained simultaneously, maybe
they must come together; but begin
ming shall have to be made in move
ment to secure them. On the last
day of the late session a commission
was appointed to report to the next
Legislature revised system Of election
laws; the members being Hons. w. r.
Castle, +. fl. Hayselden and ]. L.
Bush The last-named is away on the
South Sea mission, doubtless to be alb
sent until the closing year of the period
shall have. been well advanced. His
colleagues, however, should not leave
the all-important matter in allegiance
until his return, as they are fully com
petent to examine the best election
laws OF other countries extant, and
draw up measure including all the
good features of those laws adaptable
to this country. In the meantime the
intelligent public should not close
their eyes to the matter, for it will be
impossible to secure the passage Of any
reformed electoral law in any Legisla-
ture born of the present system, unless
the advocates of the measure in the
Legislature have the most powerful sup
port possible of being rallied outside.
In plain words, there is the most alb
solute necessity for the immediate for,
nation in this Kingdom of a Reform
League, that will not be baked of right
purposes by the opposing stress of q
mere numerical majority in votes thai
are bought, compelled, or gained by
any disreputable process.

for heating cars without stoves and the
Erie will adopt it,"
This implies there are no efficscious
methods of warming cars except the
red-hot stove. If Mr.. King will
give any of the makers of systems
for warming cars by steam the
privilege of putting their apparatus on
separate trains on the Erie Railway we
are very sure they will be only too glad
to fit them up at their own expense and
allow him 10 try them to his own satisfac-
ton. The Long Island Railroad is now
fitting cars with both the Gold and Mar
tin systems on trlal.
Mr.. Chauncey n. Depew is reported as
saying IN the New York Herald of Febru-
airy s., that "the latest improvements in
warming cars is the heater that drive hot
water through iron pipes under the seats.
The stoves are isolated as much rs pos
sible. All the Pullman cars adopt this
method"
Nevertheless this is the method that
fires all the sleeping. cars and parlor
coaches. 1t was the method in use in
tie Wagner palace car, in which Senator
Wagner lost his life, and if our memory
serves US rightly, it set fire to the train.
MIR. Depew declared steam TO be useless
in trains OF fourteen cars travelling long
distances at the rate Of fifty miles an
hour In this he has had no experience,
because ne has not tried it, and we know
that in the light of the next five years he
will be ashamed of his statement.
He says that while the cars are waiting
in the Depot for the locomotive to be at
tached they will be Cut from the heat
mill ,irah hot
to warm them again.
The answer to this is, lay steam mains
of small diameter between the rails of the
Grand Central depot, with flexible con-
nections, anu couple them the same as
between the cars and engine. The cry of
freezing msY be raised here, but this Will
not hold good if the pipes are properly
arranged.
Another objection often raised is, what
are passengers to do if the locomotive
gives out and is snow bound This con-
tingency is contemplated by the Emerson,
| Westinghouse, and other. systems IN the
use of an auxiliary boiler in the corner OF
csr or under it, or in the baggage car,
which can be brought into use tempOrari-
! ly AID at a time when the train is not IN
motion.
The defence of the railroad companies
at the present is to gain time and to put
of radical change that will cost money
to the most distant day. Again, they are
undecided as to the merits of the differ
ent systems offered, and want time to
consider the question, naturally wishing
to have the best. They know some ex-
perimenting must be done, and each is
disinclined to have it done on his road.
The example of the elevated roads and
Colonel Hams experience, however,
ought to count for something, as the diff
ferences between his roads and the great
trunk lines are not SO great but that they
may be overcome. -

But the Railroad Companies Are Very
Loath to Spend Money.
Sanitary Engineer.
In an interview Mr.. Sloan, President of
the Delaware, Lackswanna and Western
Railroad, has said:
THAT he sympsthizes deeply with the
President of the Vermont Central, who
must bear the responsibility of this great
disaster. No one could foretell upon
what railroad executive the next calamity
would bring reproach, merlted or unmer-
tied"
In the face of what we know to exist
in the matter of freless cars, we are
sure that reproach is now justly merited
oy any and all railroad managers VINO do
not inform themselves of the methods at
their command and who do not hasten to
adopt them.
"a long train of cars crossing the noun
tsins of Pennsylvania in winter" said
Mr. Sloan, "could not be heated by
steam. Even on the short trips made by
the elevated roads in this city cars often
become 'frozen'-that is, the water in tue
steam pipes congeals-and several hours
are required to thaw them out" q
Here, again, h. is misinformed, both as
to the freezing on the elevated roads and
on the mountains, for as long as steam is
in the pipes and the water of condenss-
ton allowed to run of they cannot freeze
and do rot freeze.
Mr.. John King, president of the Erie,
said: "Glye me any efticacious method

Tillie Smith, roommate of deceased,
testified st the inquest as follows:
az am well acquainted with the de-
ceased; her name ir Carrie Benton. About
1880 or , O'Clock in the morning of
February 10 a colOred man that stays here
came to me and woke me up, and told me
that he thought that deceased had taken
morphine. [ got up aud went to her
room, and when l got there 1 dis

floor, marked morphine. l picked it
up aud said, "Carrie, did you take NOR

She SAID she did. | asked her If the
box was full. she said Yes" ard said
that she lad taken il all. II was q small
sized pill box. l then told her taet We
had sent for the doctor, and 5he said,
''You need not send fo- him, there
is no use" She turned over

We're never able to arouse her. The doc
tor worked with her the balance of the
nigh. aud Was with her part of the day
Sunday, ard last night he had her re-
~oved 10 his house where she died this
morning about $50 O'Clock"
The evidence of the other witnesses
was in substance the same as above. DR..
Taylor, the attending physician, testified
! that he did all in his power to save the
misguided woman.
TIE jury of inquest returned verdict
that deceased came to her death by NOR
phine administered by her own hands.
